Judgment in the Rain, Chapter 14

"Dad, I read the weather forecast and said that it may rain heavily in our house today, and on this day, why are you still thinking about going fishing?"

While holding the phone, while packing up his fishing gear, Fang You was unimpressed by the other party's remarks on the phone.

"How easy is it to rain? Besides, how long has it been cloudy for a while, and finally it's sunny today, and if you don't go again, there will be no sun. ”

Fang Bin actually understood in his heart that Fang Youwei's thoughts and other people's persuasion were useless. Since he left the county seat and was admitted to university, Fang Youwei, who was left alone, fell in love with fishing, and when he had spare time, he would take his guy to the riverside to fish. Although I can't catch a few fish, I have a lot of excitement and can do it for a day.

During this period of time, the tax bureau was also relatively busy, Fang Youwei was all about work, but fortunately, after the processing, he caught up with the rain all day, and the suffocated Fang Youwei finally caught a sunny day, of course, he had to go fishing.

"Dad, I know it's useless for me to say anything, then you have to pay attention to safety, don't fish when it's raining." Fang Bin on the other end of the phone asked with concern.

Fang Youwei laughed, "Okay, okay, my son is still in charge of Lao Tzu." You just need to take care of yourself, study hard in school, and I still point to you as a doctor and open a clinic. ”

"Okay, my dad, I must become a doctor and open a clinic after graduation." Every time he mentioned the matter of graduation work, Fang Bin felt a headache and immediately changed the topic. If Fang Youwei hadn't insisted on letting himself study medicine, Fang Bin would not have chosen this major.

Fang Youwei opened the window and looked at the sky, although it was not sunny, it was not raining. Seeing a black Audi parked downstairs, Fang Youwei said to the phone; "Okay, don't talk about Fang Bin, the car is coming, I'm leaving, there's something to call."

The black Audi had been parked downstairs at Fang Youwei's house for a while. Fang Youwei came down with fishing gear, and a person immediately got out of the driver's seat in the car, opened the trunk, and put Fang Youwei's fishing gear in.

Fang Youwei looked this person up and down, he didn't know him. "You are? What about Xiao Liu? ”

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Liu is responsible for driving for himself, why did he suddenly change people? Fang Youwei wondered.

The man replied: "Fang Ju, Xiao Liu is sick today, I am temporarily replacing him, just call me smaller." ”

"Sick?" Fang Youwei repeated.

The man continued: "Isn't it always raining these days, Xiao Liu caught a cold in the rain, and it was a bit serious today, and I was afraid of ruining your Yaxing, so let me drive for you." ”

Fang Youwei nodded and sat in the back of the car.

The man who claimed to be less than also sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Through the rearview mirror, Fang Youwei looked small and felt strange, and asked, "Are you new here?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

The eyes in the rearview mirror were a little dodgy, but Fang Youwei didn't notice it.

"Fang Bureau, I'm new this year, and I'm now in charge of some basic business below, and it's normal for you to remember me."

In order to promote the employment of college students, the county has given a lot of college students job places, and this year a group of young people came, and many people forgot to see it, and couldn't remember their looks and names.

What I'm going to go to today is not the riverside, Fang Youwei can't catch fish, he thinks that it has something to do with the people fishing on the riverside, the fish have been caught by others, and of course he can't catch it. I heard from a fisherman that there is a river on the outskirts of the county, and there are few fish, so Fang Youwei naturally wants to give it a try.

"Less, are you a local?" The drive took more than half an hour, and Fang Youwei had nothing to say.

"Yes, I'm a local." Less than answer.

"How many people are in the family?" Fang Youwei's questions are actually all idle talk, in fact, he doesn't care about the family at all, just looking for a topic.

"I'm the only one left in the family."

Leftover? Fang Youwei heard that there was something hidden in Xiao Xiao's words, so what happened before? "What's wrong, is there something going on at home?"

Xiao's hands clenched the steering wheel and said slowly: "I had a sister before, but ......"

There was a deafening clatter of muffled thunder that exploded in the distant sky, interrupting the words of the lesser than, and he did not continue the topic.

The elusive weather, just now the sun is still high, at this moment is the sky is instantly obscured by the sun, and it is gloomy. Fang Youwei was very unhappy in his heart, and it seemed that his long-awaited fishing today might be in the soup.

"Do you know that two years ago, a little girl died in the county?" Less than plucked up the courage to say this.

"Well, yes, the county is so big, how can you not know. It was quite a sensation at the time, but after a while no one talked about it again. Speaking of which, people are still forgetful animals. ”

Fang Youwei was shocked, but he didn't show anything wrong on his face, and talked about it lightly.

"It's my sister who died."

The rain fell silently, from small to heavy when no one was looking, banging on the windows of the car, and the sound it made disturbed people's minds.

Fang Youwei, who was taken aback again, widened his eyes this time, revealing an incredulous expression.

"But, but that girl's name is Xu Xuan, and his brother should be called Xu ...... if he remembers correctly."

"Xu Hao, I, I am Xu Hao." Fang Youwei's words were interrupted, and the person who claimed to be less than said in a low voice, his voice was very cold, without a trace of emotion, no, if it was said with feelings, it was hatred.

The door was locked, and Fang Youwei realized that Xu Hao locked himself in the car, and there were only the two of them in the confined space.

Panicked, Fang Youwei was taken aback by Xu Hao's actions, and pretended to be calm, but there was still a little tremor in his voice.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Xu Hao said: "I just want to ask you a few questions, answer truthfully, you and I are safe, otherwise, we will have a fish to death." ”

The speed of the car increased significantly, and it was getting faster and faster on the road in the rain, and Fang Youwei was afraid to lean against the seat.

"Why are you looking for me, what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing that Fang Youwei still didn't admit it, a cloud of anger rose in Xu Hao's heart, but it was not the time to lose his cool at this moment, looking at Fang Youwei's slightly flustered appearance through the rearview mirror, Xu Hao felt a little ridiculous.

"Is my sister's case pressed by you, and finally it is closed?" There was anger in the words.

Fang Youwei hurriedly denied it; "It has nothing to do with me, how can you blame me?"

Until now, Fang Youwei still doesn't admit it, but this is also expected by Xu Hao, and it is not so easy to pry his mouth.

"Then tell me, why did you let the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau press down, why did you go to six places a month after the incident, and why did you use your connections to transfer Zhao Guoguang! Tell me about it! ”

At this moment, Fang Youwei realized that the young man in front of him already knew something, so he would rashly hold himself hostage.

"Don't talk nonsense about non-existent things, don't blame nonsense without any evidence"

"Yes, you're right, I have no proof, but I believe you have nothing to do with it! If you don't say it......" Xu Hao did not finish his words, but used his actions to tell Fang Youwei the possible consequences.

The throttle was pressed down again, the speed of the car was already over 100, and it was already pouring rain outside the window, and the vision became blurry. Speeding on such roads, the car can easily skid, and the consequences can be imagined.

Xu Hao was ready to die together, for two years, he waited, but in the end what he waited for was nothingness. The case was sealed in a locked filing cabinet, and no one cared about it. Only I live and remember in constant self-blame. It was because of this person in the back row that he suppressed the case, and he prevented everyone who wanted to get in touch with the case, if Fang Youwei had nothing to do with this matter, Xu Hao couldn't believe it.

Fang Youwei swallowed nervously, for fear that Xu Hao, who had lost his mind, would do something irreparable.

"Xu Hao, you listen to me, you have to be calm, everything is negotiable, I'll tell you, tell you everything! You slow down, okay? ”

Listening to Fang Youwei's words of compromise, Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in fact, he was not sure if Fang Youwei would be able to relax.

The speed of the dashboard slowed down.

"Okay, you say, I'll listen."

The torrential rain obliterated all the sounds of the world, leaving only the sound of the rain hitting the ground. The outside of the car belongs to nature, and the inside of the car belongs to the world. Fang Youwei spoke word by word, Xu Hao was silent, and every word was memorized in his heart. The hand holding the steering wheel is clasped tightly on the inside of the steering wheel from time to time. Use your strength to quench the anger in your heart.

The heavy rain could not extinguish the fire in Xu Hao's heart.

"That's it, Xu Hao." After Fang Youwei finished speaking, he unloaded the burden on his body, breathed a sigh of relief, and carried a heavy secret, Fang Youwei had a bad life for a few years, no one could confide in, no one knew his difficulties, so he had to digest it himself.

Anyway, giving it all out at this moment can be regarded as salvation for yourself.

"It's happened, I can try to compensate you, Xu Hao. What do you want? ”

Compensate? Sounds ridiculous, the anger in Xu Hao's heart seems to have been poured with oil and burned even more vigorously, what can be compensated for more than two years of suffering? What can be compensated in exchange for Xu Xuan's life?

"Compensation? I just want to pay for my life! Xu Hao was angry, unconsciously stepped on the accelerator, and the car widened with speed. Fang Youwei only felt that the vision outside the window became more and more blurred, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Fang Youwei didn't expect Xu Hao, who heard the truth, but instead didn't let himself go, but was even more excited. If it continues, there will definitely be surprises.

He immediately rushed to Xu Hao and pulled hard, trying to slow down the car. The mutual pull of the two caused the steering wheel to swing left and right, gradually losing control, and the car would go to the left and right on the slippery road, and even to the edge of the road.

A river appeared on the side of the road, and if it were not for the torrential rain, it was calm and serene, waiting for people to see. But at this moment, the river is like a big fish that has been swallowed, surging endlessly, and human beings seem very small in front of him.

This was the destination Fang Youwei was going to, but he didn't notice it at the moment. The two of them fought for each other, and no one had the idea of giving up, and the car also increased the swing amplitude.

Fang Youwei squeezed into the front row and continued to grab the steering wheel, the two argued, and as the steering wheel was turned hard, the car made a sharp turn and rushed into the river on the side of the road.

Everything happened suddenly, and it was too late for Zhang Xiu, who was following behind, to react. The car has rushed into the river and is slowly sinking to the bottom.

"You help me with one last thing, I promise, I will never dwell on this case again."

"What's the matter?"

"Let me have a conversation with Fang Youwei."

Xu Hao's last thing surprised Zhang Xiu, but it was also expected.

"Why do you want to see what to do?"

"There are some things I want to ask him face-to-face."

Zhang Xiu's face showed a sad expression, very entangled, if he simply arranged for the two to meet, how could he do things under Fang Youwei in the future? No matter how great he is, Zhang Xiu will not ruin his future, not to mention that now he is already a celebrity in front of Fang Youwei, so there is no need to offend him at this time.

Xu Hao could see that Zhang Xiu was thinking a lot, and explained: "Zhang Xiu, you don't have to think too much, this matter will not implicate you, you just need to find an opportunity to let me talk to him, you don't have to come forward." Fang Youwei will not know about your existence. ”

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and made up his mind to pay attention.

"Okay, I'll help you, but you have to promise me that no matter what, after talking to Fang Youwei, you can't go to him again without conclusive evidence."

Xu Hao nodded, which was regarded as a promise.

Fang Youwei developed a hobby of fishing during this time, and would go to the surrounding rivers to fish in his spare time on weekends. The bureau assigned him a driver to take care of Fang Youwei's trip, Zhang Xiu had a good relationship with the colleague who arranged the matter, and after a little bit of relationship, he took the driver away, and let Xu Hao approach Fang Youwei as a substitute driver, waiting for the opportunity to find an opportunity to talk.

However, Zhang Xiu was still very uneasy about Xu Hao, although Xu Hao agreed, but maybe he might do something out of the ordinary. Zhang Xiu, who was not at ease, waited early at the entrance of the alley next to Fang Youwei's community, saw Fang Youwei's car drive out, and silently followed behind.

Of course, he didn't tell Xu Hao all this.

The accident happened too suddenly, and Zhang Xiu, who was stunned for a while, was at a loss. When he came to his senses, the car had already submerged to the roof of the car, and there was no time to think too much, Zhang Xiu rushed into the rain and ran to the river, trying to rescue the two of them.

Zhang Xiu was born and raised in the county, and has been playing by the river since he was a child.

The river was not as calm as usual under the torrential rain, and the muddy water was stirred up by the torrential rain, which made people feel afraid.

Zhang Xiu didn't care about anything, jumped into the river, and swam hard to the sinking car.

The two who were scuffling together were also startled by the fact that the car suddenly rushed into the river, and in an instant, it was no longer rain, but river water outside the window. The panicked duo frantically pulled the doorknob, and no matter what, the door showed no sign of opening.

"Xu Hao! Lock! Lock! Fang Youwei shouted loudly, and when he regained his senses, he remembered that Xu Hao had locked all the car doors before.

Xu Hao, who suddenly realized, stretched out his trembling hand and pressed the unlock button, only to hear a click, the door lock was opened, and the two immediately opened the car door.

The river water also quickly poured into the car as the door opened, leaving them with little space and time.

Xu Hao broke free and struggled to swim towards the river, but he couldn't swim, and with his desire for life, he waved his arms backwards again and again, trying to swim to the river.

However, it backfired, and he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the river, and the faint light above it gradually disappeared from his sight, and his waving arm lost its strength. He felt that his body was light, so light that he could not feel his presence. He also felt heavy and fell deep to the bottom of the river.

His arm was pulled up by an external force, and Xu Hao felt that his body was approaching the river.

"Ahh Xu Hao, who breathed the air, breathed the air greedily, and was able to open his eyes and finally saw that the person who was holding him to the river bank was Zhang Xiu.

The land has never been so loved by Xu Hao as it is at this moment. Xu Hao was paralyzed on the riverbank, although facing the rain, he still felt that the sky was very beautiful.

"Xu Hao! Xu Hao! You're here! I'm going to save you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Hao only felt that the vague figure beside him disappeared, and he vaguely saw him jump into the river again.

How long has it been? Xu Hao had no idea, but he sensed that the rain on his face was getting smaller and smaller, and the sky on his back gradually revealed the sunlight, through the gaps between the dark clouds.

Xu Hao consciously moved his arms, his body had just walked back from the ghost gate, and his limbs gradually gained strength to support himself.

The river is calm, as if it was not under the rainstorm just now, revealing a natural and peaceful appearance.

"Zhang Xiu." A faint voice squeezed out of Xu Hao's mouth, he didn't see Zhang Xiu's figure, and he had an ominous feeling in his heart.

Waiting, waiting without time, time becomes meaningless, and even less valuable. Xu Hao, who was wooden, stared helplessly at the river in front of him, how he hoped that Zhang Xiu could surface in the next second and show his face.

However, imagination is imagination after all, and it is in the mind, but not in reality.

Xu Hao didn't dare to lean out and go to the river that wanted to swallow him, he was afraid, undisguised fear.

The river was sparkling in the sun, as if nothing had happened, leaving Xu Hao, who was behind the riverside, walked towards the side of the road step by step, he didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop being ashamed when he turned back, but he knew that he had more important things to do.

And, for Zhang Xiu, he could only say sorry in his heart.
